Editor of Cat News

I spent 14 years working across Africa and beyond on raptor and carnivore conservation. My PhD fieldwork in Gabon focused on African golden cat ecology and conservation, and produced the first population density estimates for the species, with particular focus on how human activities impact their populations. I've worked on projects ranging from small-scale ecology studies to landscape-scale connectivity planning and wildlife reintroductions. I worked on the development of camera trap technology, while also acting as subject editor for the African Journal of Ecology for several years. As Editor of Cat News, I focus on two key elements: publishing conservation-relevant articles that pave the way for better policy and implementation, and mentoring early-career researchers. My interests are broad, but they share a common thread: making sure conservation science is accessible and leads to conservation action.
